The story kicks off shortly after Leon and Claire’s escape from Raccoon City and includes the surviving characters from Caliban Cove as well as Trent, a mysterious individual that is aiding the characters when it seems to serve his interests, whatever that might be. As this is an original story rather than based on a game, there are fewer direct confrontations and combat and more stealth, espionage, subterfuge, and infiltration with the intent of gathering intelligence – Underworld truly is an apt title, and in more ways than one.

There are indeed BOW’s and combat and in that respect, the book did not disappoint, though a good number of pages must be read before the first BOW makes its appearance. Underworld’s strength is not being tied to a game. The pacing is by far the best of Perry’s Resident Evil books (that I’ve read) and there are no moments where the author is forced to justify cringy exchange of dialogue or nonsense actions.
There is but one thing that prevents me from giving five stars. Of the five protagonists, not everyone can have their equal amount of spotlight, but care should still be taken to avoid that a character feels superfluous. While all five characters were, at some point, relevant for the story, more could have been done to keep Claire, in particular, relevant to and directly involved in the plot as there was a large segment where she was just sort of ‘there’.
